Pencil, eraser, heavy duty approx. 9 x 12 inch drawing paper or equivalent artist's notebook or construction paper, colored pencils, crayons or cray pas oil pastels.  Note that students may also do this portrait as a watercolor in which case they also need a paint set, water cup, paper towels and approx. 9 x 12 inch watercolor paper.

If used, cray pas oil pastels and watercolor paints can be messy so parents should provide a covered table surface, wipes, and paper towels as needed to avoid extraneous marks, spills, or messes.   For oil pastels, workable fixative sprays, similar to hairspray can be applied outside by an adult once the project is done to keep the drawing from bleeding.  Parent supervision may be needed for these two mediums.
